Finally - a flashlight my husband can't destroy (Rating: 5.00)
Review : We have the PC cordless drill that uses the same battery as this flashlight and they make a wonderful pair of tools. The flashlight has a steady base so you can set it on the floor and you can swivel the head around, as needed.The light is nice and bright - and despite the fact that we have done some awful things to this light - it lives on. Hubby uses it in his appliance repair business where it gets dropped, kicked, (and sometimes dropped kicked) stomped, tossed into the tool box from too great a distance and he drops things on it about 4 times a day. At home, redoing our old house, we've abused it similarly. The light bulb has never burned out and I love that fact that it has a rechargeable battery. (At least *I'm* not destroying the water quality with mercury from discarded batteries...anymore. :) Sorry this isn't a more technical review - but in summation - this is a great product. Strong, sturdy, useful and with many handy applications - I'd recommended it (and have) to everyone. Whether you're the little old lady who uses a flashlight once a year when the lights go out (hi Mom!) or someone like hubby and me who use it several hours each day - it's a great tool.
Rugged and convenient (Rating: 5.00)
Review : I purchased this light included with a kit of other PC tools. Although I didn't think I'd use it much, I have. It works great and it is reliable. The adustable head is great for pointing lighting on task. The only downside is that you'll always wonder where that extra battery is for a while before you remember that it is on the flashlight!
Very good but could have been better (Rating: 3.00)
Review : I purchased this flashlight to go with the 14.4V Porter Cable drill I purchased a month ago. I appreciate the flashlights bright light, nice ergonomics, spare bulb, solid construction, good looks and of course, the main reason I got it, compatibility with my drills charger/battery. I would have liked it more if the beam was adjustable (like Maglights are), and if it had an intermediate switch that allowed for quickly flashing the light on/off without having to fully click it on then click it off. If you already have a 14.4V charger and battery then this flashlight is worth getting; but it could have been designed a little better.
